Apart from demanding Jayanarayan Mishra’s removal as the Leader of Opposition, the BJD also demanded an apology from Mishra to the 4.5 crore people of Odisha, especially women.

“We demand that Odisha BJP should immediately remove Mishra from the post of Leader of Opposition in Odisha Vidhan Sabha for his shocking and derogatory behaviour. Also, Odisha BJP and Mishra should apologize to 4.5 crore people of Odisha and especially the women of Odisha for having disrespected and denigrated the dignity of a woman in public today,” said BJD spokesperson Shreemayee Mishra while addressing the media persons.
